Mexico Braces for Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan With 25 New Shelters
Mexico is preparing for President-elect Donald Trump’s forthcoming mass deportation mission by opening 25 new shelters that will house more than 12,000 Mexican nationals.
Baja California Gov. Marina del Pilar Ávila Olmeda announced plans Monday to open the additional shelters, including six in Tijuana and two in Mexicali, according to the Border Report.
Ávila Olmeda called it a “strategic plan” to provide housing to “exclusively people who get deported after January 20.”
The new shelters will not provide accommodations to other foreign nationals. She explained that deported Mexican migrants will be temporarily placed in the facilities until they can be returned to their hometowns.
Each of the 25 shelters will be able to accommodate 500 people. According to the Border Report, some shelters will house men, while others will accommodate women, unaccompanied minors, and family units. The new shelters are slated to open by Trump’s Inauguration Day. (Read more from “Mexico Braces for Trump’s Mass Deportation Plan With 25 New Shelters” HERE)
